Chapter 4: Now What?
A/N: I think this chapter is a WHOLE LOT better than the last one...but anyways...HERES YA GO:
"Cecilia, when is our doctor's appointment again?" Simon asked his one and only. "Two," she said looking at her watch, it was 1:30, "Oh! We have to go! Come on Simon, PUT A SHIRT ON!" Simon jumped, Cecilia was very moody when she was pregnant, Simon knew that, so he "obeyed her every command." Simon put a shirt on and some shorts. They drove to the doctors and met their doctor, Dr. Bee, in his office.
After Cecilia had the ultra sound Dr. Bee told them he needed to go talk to his boss for a minute leaving Simon & Cecilia alone with a load of worries. "What do you think they're talking about," Cecilia asked scared for her sons. "I don't know," Simon truthfully replied. Then, after seeing the expression on Cecilia's face, he quickly reassured her, "I'm sure it's fine," Simon replied. Cecilia and Simon were both scared and worried until the doctor came back in breaking up their thoughts. "I have some good and bad news. The good news is that you are having 2 healthy boys, but baby C, also a boy, has a 75 chance of having Spina Difia" Dr. Bee sadly reported to Simon & Cecilia. Their fears were true. They thanked the doctor, and with Cecilia sobbing, and tears running down Simon's face, they left.
When they got home, they told their oldest son, Jason, the news. Jason brightened up their day when he said, "So?" Simon and Cecilia exchanged confused looks. "So what if he won't be able to walk. Does that mean you won't love him? If there were something wrong with me would you hate me? I'm not perfect, Tom's not perfect, Keely's not perfect, you guys aren't perfect, and when you have them they're not going to be perfect, no ones perfect, why does it matter that he probably won't be able to walk? I can't believe I'm hearing this from you. You're my parents, no...wait...you guys aren't my parents. He's my dad, THAT'S IT! If my real b of a mom were here, I wouldn't be calling you my mom!" Jason stormed off to go up the stairs, but before he could get any further Simon caught him, while Cecilia just sat on the living room couch crying. "Not so fast young man!" Simon called after him. "You go apologize to your moth...Cecil...your mother this instant! And don't you ever say that word again. Georgia left because we were only 18 Son! Only 18! We made a mistake, you weren't a mistake, the choice we made was a mistake, not you! Why are you talking about Georgia like that...you know why she left, you know we will love your brother just as much as you, Thomas, Keely, and the other 2 boys! You know that! Tell me what's going on...obviously we need to talk. Come on son, what's going on." "Fine!" He went over to Cecilia, "I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry," he said sincerely, he went over to Cecilia and hugged her, "I love you Mom," he told her. Cecilia felt a whole lot better and told her son she loved him. Then, Simon took Jason upstairs. And they had a conversation that went like this:
Simon: What's up? Jay?
Jason: you've never done that before
Simon: Done what?
Jason: called me Jay or Jason. You always called me Son
Simon: I haven't noticed, do you want me to call you Jay
Jason: no, its just, I never met my mom, my biological mom
Simon: do you want to meet her?
Jason: No, Yes, I do but if I did I know I would do something I would later regret
Simon: What would you do?
Jason: Something, I don't know, I just know I would do something I would regret
Simon: No, I would go with you, if you want to meet her you can.
Jason: I already have a mother
Simon: smiles yea, I guess you do don't you?
Jason: yeah, and a sister and 4 brothers soon
Simon: chuckles I love you son
Jason: I love you too Dad
They hugged for a long time and then Simon told him he was sorry that he and Cecilia had made it sound like they wouldn't love his disabled brother. He then assured him that they would love Jay's brother just as much. After Simon talked with Cecilia, they agreed they would let their children pick the names for their triplets. Jay said Stephen or Steve, Thomas said Gary, and Keely said Mac. When Simon & Cecilia heard the names, they smiled and hugged there kids.
Preview of Next Chapter: Chapter 5: RegretSimon said, "You know, when you first told me that you got your girlfriend pregnant you said I could help because I had been through this already." "So?" "So, I didn't go through this. Well, I did get a girl pregnant when I was the same age as you, but I didn't shut out my family. I wasn't so 'popular,' and I didn't let my brother be humiliated every single day of his life since he started high school. I didn't hurt my brother more than anyone thought someone could ever hurt someone they love, and I didn't go so long without knowing important things going on in this family. I'm not the one who completely abandoned my morals and beliefs. You were, you did. And I bet you don't even regret having sex with Stacy, you just regret getting her pregnant. You loved having sex with her, and I'm absolutely positive you would do it again if there weren't the risk of having a child."
